Corona

A visible electrical discharge from a conductor in the form of a “blue glow,” caused by sharp edges of damaged spots in a high-voltage line. It is more obvious when the conductor is bare and has a profile of a sharp point or edge. It is disruptive to line-of-sight signals such as antenna T.V. and radio.
